youDRESSED Redaktion

Plastic harms our environment – that’s no longer a secret. But many people find it difficult to live without the material. Especially when it comes to personal hygiene in the bathroom, it is often indispensable to use objects with plastic. But all this is not as difficult as many people think. Our editorial staff will give you four tips on how to create a plastic-free bathroom without having to make major changes to your personal hygiene.

Plastic-free cotton swabs

One of the most frequently used plastic-rich objects in the bathroom are cotton swabs. Many could not do without them, for example when putting on make-up. But don’t worry, you don’t have to live without them! Many shops already have cotton swabs made of paper, bamboo or cotton. Here even the packaging is mostly plastic-free and therefore very environmentally friendly.

Plastic-free shampooing

Each empty shampoo bottle creates additional plastic waste. But you can also use the shampoo in one piece. How is that supposed to work? The solution is: hair soap. With hair soap you are on the safe side and can be sure that no plastic is included. Many manufacturers are still stretching their products with micro plastic, so be careful here!
